Best way to integrate all services

TO ALL:
Please Help me figure this mess out.
We use the following services for our business
Windows InTune
Office 365
SQL Azure
Dynamic CRM Online
I would like to (hopefully) combine all administration functions and portals of these sites. Although I am running dated Server OS's (mostly server 2003 R2) I am hoping to upgrade to 2012 this calendar year. That is why I have not looked into
all the AD sync services at this time.
Hopefully someone has gone through this - and can advise the best way to merge all the information together.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?

What's the best way to import ALL of my photos (34k +) and then share?

*Part I - importing:*
I've got approximately 34,400 photos on a networked drive that I need to be able to control using iPhoto. I want these files to stay on the network drive, but also be controlled by iPhoto (organized by date). Right now our photos folder on the network drive is a bit of a mess, some folders are named by date only and some are named by the event itself ("birthday 2009", etc.). I want this naming to go away in place of the iPhoto method (by date only). FYI, I am familiar with how to get to the "original" and "modified" folders/files within the iPhoto Library.
Question: Is there a way to get iPhoto to organize the photos (all by date) an leave the original photos on the networked drive? or do I need to:
> Import ALL photos into my iPhoto with the "import photos into iPhoto Library" option checked (iPhoto copies all original files to my laptop hard drive)
> Then manually move the file structure (all new folders created - by date) back to my networked drive
> THEN...remove all photos from the iPhoto Library and re-import the newly organized photos from the network drive but unchecking the "import photos into iPhoto Library" option.
Right now, both of our MacBook Pro's use iPhoto to access those photos independently of one another (each laptop does their own thing). This also creates problems because when files are imported on my laptop they are saved locally (on my laptop) and not on the network drive, same goes for my wife's laptop. Then she's not able to see those new photos.
*Part II - sharing:*
I'm also in the process of trying to figure out the best way to share all of our photos between our different laptops. Using the "sharing" function in iPhoto isn't ideal since that requires both laptops to be on.
My understanding of sharing the iPhoto library itself (having it saved on the networked drive) between two laptops is that only one laptop can access this library at a time, or there's potential of having the files become corrupt (two laptops trying to access the file at the same time).
Question: What's the best way to share photos between two laptops?
Thanks in advance

Is there a way to get iPhoto to organize the photos (all by date) an leave the original photos on the networked drive?
Yes there is. But I don't recommend it as a way of working with iPhoto.
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
The problems arise when you change the path to the Files. iPhoto has no way of reconnecting that path and you could find yourself resolving aliases one at a time for all 34k Photos.
Other apps, such as Aperture have a command to re-connect with the master files.
FYI, I am familiar with how to get to the "original" and "modified" folders/files within the iPhoto Library.
Good for you but never, ever access the files this way. Period. Within the iPhoto Package File there are no user sercviceable parts.
All your work gets done in the iPhoto Window. Everything you need to do can be done from there - and must be.
Then manually move the file structure (all new folders created - by date) back to my networked drive
Never, ever break up the internals of the iPhoto Package File. You'll break iPhoto if you do.
Also, what format is that Networked Drive? iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
Question: What's the best way to share photos between two laptops?
If simultaneous sharing is your goal then you need to use a Media Server app. iPhoto isn't one.
The key really is the format of the NAS. IF you can make it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then you can easily store your Library on it and share it. Otherwise you need to use another application for the job.

I just bought a new Macbook. What's the best way to transfer all my info from the old one?

Hey everyone! I just got my new retina display Macbook Pro, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer all my music/photos/files/data/etc. from my old Mackbook Pro. I have a 1TB external drive and an 8GB flash drive that I can use if I need to. Any sugestions? Thanks!

What i did with mine, I cloned the drive of my old macbook to my external drive using carbon copy cloner.
Once i was done with the clone - i used migration assistant to transfer my apps/data/pictures/files over my new macbook....
when using migration assistant - do not transfer your old settngs and if you're doing an app transfer, only transfer the ones you need and that you know will work with your Retina...
good luck..

What's the best way to backup all of my music and pictures?

I have a Mac Mini with the Super Drive and i was woundering which is the best way to back all of the music that i have bought from iTunes and pictures i have in iPhoto, that way in case my Hard Drive crashes or i buy a new Mac Mini i can just transfer the files onto the new Hard Drive, is buying a iPod Video or a external hard drive be the best thing to do or can i just burn everything on a DVD-R?
Thank you.

Wow, that sounds pretty easy, just drag and drop, but what exactly did you mean when you said "When restoring your data, ensure that all the iTunes and iPhoto files are restored before launching those applications"
What i was going to do is just copy (restore) all the data onto a external HD or a DVD-R and then make sure iTunes and iPhoto still has the same number of files and then i would check the DVD-R or the external HD to make sure that the files have been copied, right?
One more question, most of my music on iTunes was bought from the iTunes Music Store, will it still copy?

Best way to handle all erros and get performance(OCI)?

Hi there,
Im using[b] Oracle Call Interface to execute batch file process. But I have got a problem.
I set ExecuteBatch with the same number of commit time, i.e: 100, 1000 or just 10, for thats ok.
((OraclePreparedStatement)globalStmt).setExecuteBatch(commit);
And I handle executeUpdate to catch all SQL Exceptions. I made some proposital files with invalid erros but when I handle "executeUpdate" it�s doesn�t get the corrent error line, and puts out another line that is corret.
((OraclePreparedStatement)globalStmt).executeUpdate();
Check in the code I concluded that its always get the same sequence of commit number like the error line. For example, I have between line 1 - 50 a line error, this line is 31, but I set the commit time for 50, its show me that line errror is 50 wherever 31. But if I put setExecuteBatch with '1' so it can handle corret lines erros, but the system performance bring down. What is the best way to handle all erros and keep the perfronace?
Sorry for my english, I am not native. Thanks all.

So by doing this, everything will transfer and look exactly the way I have it on the old machine?
That is correct, if your old machine is Intel based after using MA the new machine will look just like the old machine. Here is information from Apple on MA, I'd recommend looking it over.
My recommendation is to answer NO when setting up the new machine when it asks "Are you moving from another Mac?" The reason being let you new machine get set up and run for a couple of hours to ensure it's fine. Then launch MA and follow the prompts, it's very easy and if you use a fast connection like FW it should go smoothly.

Best way to extract all images from Messages?

My iPad freaked out earlier today and unfortunately I had to do a recovery and restore (from iCloud backup). I say unfortunately because I was 90% certain I was not backing up photos/video (and there was no way to check before doing the restore). And indeed I had photo/video backup turned off.
I'm mostly back to normal now, except for all the lost photos/videos. I've gone through some of Messages to Save ones I sent there.
What is the best way to extract all images from past Messages so I don't have to tediously load earlier messages? I understand there are some programs that allow one to go through a local backup and go through messages. But for this I suppose I'd first need to make a local backup of everything, no? Are those programs able to extract just images I've sent or do they grab everything (i.e. images others have sent me?)
Related, before I did the initial restore could I have easily retrieved the photos/images on the device through some third-party solution?
Lastly, and semi-off topic.. What determines the image name for an image in Messages? For example, I Copied a photo someone sent me via Messages and Pasted it three times back to her (all at the same time). The image filenames are IMG_6447.jpg, IMG_4820.jpg, IMG_0291.jpg.

Thanks Kirby. I utilize Aperture 3 by reference instead of a compiled library. So I have individual folder/projects stored on my laptop. By exporting as a library, does Aperture bring these folders and related images "with it"?
What I don't want to lose is any post processing I do in the field which creates separate versions and/or .PSD files.
Thanks for your continued assistance.

Best way to copy ALL DATA from song to song?

Hello everyone,
I'm in the middle of scoring a film and have ran into what seems to be a corrupted song, and want to attempt to transfer all data from this song into a new file.
I'm running multiple global tracks with changes in tempos and time sigs all over, multiple audio tracks, and various Virtual instruments. I also have an extensive environment in which I use instrument tracks to access my exs instruments, as well as multi-instrument tracks for kontakt 2. Of course I have this saved as a template, but as you know as projects progress, the current song rarely looks like your autoload. So simply copying and pasting will not work, as I have many new instruments and audio files in different places in my arrange page. Thus when I try to copy and paste, logic sees that the current tracks are not "correct" and asks to "create new instruments" which seems to randomly throw all the instruments to the bottom of my arrange page, making it all out of whack!
With some help from the audio config window and some manual editing of the arrange page, I was able to get my song pretty much back to normal, but for future reference, what is the best way to transfer all of my data to another song, while still keeping the look and functionality of the song intact?
Thanks in advance for your help! If it helps to see what I'm talking about, I'm willing to post my song file for reference, just ask.

I'd LOVE to somehow avoid #4 if possible. As I stated
above, my projects always change from the templates
due to extra audio tracks, audio instruments, etc, so
a simple "copy and paste" does not seem to work.
Is there something I'm missing?
Yup, I was missing something really simple. If you choose NOT to copy instruments, it will ask you to keep the instrument or create a new track. If you keep the instrument (since my instruments names remained the same as the template) logic will connect the tracks with the instruments and only put the additional tracks (i.e. extra audio tracks etc) on the bottom. WAY COOL!
Now my process is a little easier, however if you have any other tips so share please feel free to post.

Best way to move all music to new hard drvie and computer

I'm updating my existing computer, will be installing Vista home premium to new hard drive on new computer, using some of my existing hardware - setting up existing hard drive as secondary drive to move data over - I was hoping to backup all itunes files to the hard drive and then restore from backup to new drive but I can only backup to DVD - which i dont want to do. Once Itunes is setup on the new computer, whats the best way to move all files from the old directory without losing the purchased folder and all settings? thanks.

Make the drive name the same as the old one, or point to the first file when asked. PR will then find the rest of the files, at least if they are in the same directory.

Get a third drive if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, set it not to exclude that drive, and drag the files to it. If you're moving an iTunes or iPhoto library, launch the application with the Option key held down and choose the moved library.

I've been using a flip video camera since 2009 and all of my videos are in the flipshare library. What is the best way to burn all these videos to a DVD that will play on my DVD player/tv? The flipshare library is taking up too much space on my Macbook and I wanted to delete these videos once they were all tranferred to DVDs.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.
